The City Council is scheduled Tuesday to consider putting a tax measure on the ballot next March.

Councilwoman Janice Hahn says it would be $50 for every $1,000 that medical marijuana collectives receive. She tells City news Service that the tax could bring in $3 million to $5 million a year.

However, the city’s legal advisers don’t like the idea. They say Los Angeles would be taxing businesses that the state classifies as nonprofit — and thus non-taxable — and federal law still considers illegal.

But Hahn notes San Jose, Sacramento and other cities already have such taxes.

The L.A. City Council is completely clueless on this one. Exactly how does the city plan on making sure that dispensaries are reporting sales correctly? I am a candiadate for Los Angeles City Council Ditrict 6 and I have a medical marijuana proposal that will generate a conservative estimate of AT LEAST $50 million per year for the city. My proposal will also keep marijuana out of the hands of minors, create revenue for more police enforcement, prevent marijuana from being grown in neighborhood homes, and will not have a federal conflict of interest regarding taxtaion of illegal products.

The Federal Goverment has said it is illegal. Enough said. You pot heads should move to Frisco and live it up. Nancy will be glad to have more liberals to hang around with. Other methods of pain control are out there. Use it and not pot.
